Sandwich Social with the tablehopper

The Big Easy from Morty’s.

It’s no newsflash I am completely sandwich obsessed (I even included a favorite sandwich section in my book, of course!). But with so many new places popping up all the time, and perhaps your place of work being in one spot but a sandwich shop you’ve been wanting to try in another, it’s hard to try them all. Solution: the first ~TABLEHOPPER SANDWICH SOCIAL~ at Purcell Murray on Saturday May 8th!

I will lead a Q&A with three of San Francisco’s best sandwich makers: Douglas Monsalud of Kitchenette, Jeff Mason and David Knopp of Pal’s Take Away, and Timothy Brown of Morty’s Deli, who will also demo his house-made Russian dressing. I will additionally moderate and answer any questions for the sandwich makers, or about my dining experiences.

And of course we will eat sandwiches! Kitchenette will be preparing and serving their cult classic: the Dogpatch Millionaire, an Indian-inspired fried chicken sandwich with garam masala honey, coriander, cabbage, coriander, chiles, and fresh lime. The sandwich from Pal’s Take Away will be loaded with Four Barrel Coffee-rubbed and smoked barbecue pork from Becker Lane, with Boozely’s sweet pickle relish, creamy horseradish-y slaw, and River Dog arugula. Morty’s will be preparing and serving their delicious Reuben, loaded with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing. We’ll also be drinking something bubbly since it is Saturday after all.

Please note you won’t be eating three entire sandwiches: the portions will be more like slightly smaller sandwich halves. Autographed copies of my book will be for sale ($17.50). And yes, the event is in Brisbane, but it’s a super-quick drive out of the city, trust me! See ya!
